![]() ![]() Please report threads and comments that violate the following rules: Be respectful If you like Ableton better but can't afford it, just know you will be making the exact same music in either program, so don't overthink it.This subreddit is for those wishing to discuss electronic dance music production. But the difference with any program comes down to layout, not ability. I just find the layouts for either to be a bit more organized for the things I've mentioned. That said, Ableton is perfectly capable with MIDI work, and FL is perfectly capable with sound design (especially with patcher you could arguably do "more" with FL, but it just isn't as fast/intuitive as Ableton). I'd recommend Ableton if you want to have a cleaner workspace, and do a lot of sound design work because the automation isn't scattered all over the place. Outside of price, I'd recommend FL if you want to do a lot of MIDI editing, since the piano roll is much better. I almost never use session view on Ableton, arrangement pretty much exclusivelyįL - free lifetime updates, better piano roll, cheaper, much more flexible, can be organized any way that you want (which could be good or bad depending on your workflow)Ībleton - expensive depending on version, better audio workflow (warping/comping), more rigid/linear which makes it much faster, much much much much better automation, more organized overall Ableton "LIVE", vs FL "STUDIO".Īll Plugins Edition vs Live Suite might be a different battle, but with the initial purchase and upgrades still costing so much, I'm not even going to bother buying Suite. I own a copy of Ableton 9 Intro when I thought I might consider the switch, but my initial experience with $99 Ableton Intro vs $99 FL Fruity Edition was a no brainer, and I just use Ableton for realtime/performance-based stuff with MIDI/sequencing using the clips (which it's good for, I will admit), and FL for production. ![]() There's also a limit to the number of concurrent activations you can have at once, which isn't a big deal for most people, but I've got a number of different computers and OSes, and I hesitate to install Ableton on machines because I have to deregister a machine to free up a license. Then the joke's on you because a new version comes out and you are stuck in the past and have to pay more money to upgrade (again, not cheap). ![]() Ableton hooks you with the Intro/Live edition, then leaves you without a synth and you have to buy Operator separately, or upgrade to one of the more expensive versions (which are actually quite expensive). If we assume that both DAWs are capable of making whatever music you want, then this is where FL wins. > I'd also like to know anything like which has longer support, which doesn't treat their customers like peons, etc. In Ableton live you can copy and paste literally anything, you can put your tracks in as many layers of folders as you want, you can put effects in folders, you can put virtual instruments in folders, it's much more organized.Īlso if you're writing a linear composition you shouldn't be using session view at all really just use the arrangement view. I really dislike FL studios system where inserts, tracks, and playlist lanes completely separate from each other, some people like it but I've only ever seen it as a waste of time and large projects can get messy very quickly compared to Ableton (or any other DAW really). If your DAW usage lies almost entirely in the piano roll I don't think you'd regret going with FL Studio.Ībleton Live is better at live recording whether that be with a MIDI keyboard or a microphone and in my opinion the workflow is overall much faster, efficient, and intuitive than FL Studio. I've read many "Ableton Live vs FL Studio" and I've used both DAWs for a long time so here is my opinion.įL Studio is better at MIDI, it's piano roll is much better than Abletons, every plugin that comes with FL Studio has individual note pan and glide supported in the piano roll, and I also quite like the note strum, arpeggiator, flam, etc features that are inside the piano roll and I've never really found anything equivalent to them in any other DAW's piano roll.
